---------------------------------------
Hi [~chosante], yes that's a downside for a deprecated metric and the
expectation is to filter the incorrect metric i.e. one which do not preserve
the original topic name, dots replaced with underscore. The reason there exists
the deprecated metric is because of backward compatibility, what [~chia7712]
also mentioned.

> Hello,
> Since Kafka 4.1.0, we're experiencing an issue with Kafka Streams metrics for
> topics containing dots in their names. (I think the problem is also for
> simple usage of consumers not only kstream)
> In FetchMetricsManager, methods like {{recordRecordsFetched()}} now create
> duplicate sensors for the same topic if they contain dot in their name:
> {code:java}
> void recordRecordsFetched(String topic, int records) {
> String name = topicRecordsFetchedMetricName(topic);
> maybeRecordDeprecatedRecordsFetched(name, topic, records); <-- here we
> create another sensor if the topic name contains dot
> Sensor recordsFetched = new SensorBuilder(metrics, name, () ->
> Map.of("topic", topic))
> .withAvg(metricsRegistry.topicRecordsPerRequestAvg)
> .withMeter(metricsRegistry.topicRecordsConsumedRate,
> metricsRegistry.topicRecordsConsumedTotal)
> .build();
> recordsFetched.record(records);
> } {code}
> It currently record two sensors, one with my original topic name, one time
> with a topic name with dots replaced by underscore.
> -While we can work around this by reversing the transformation in our case
> (replacing underscores back to dots in Micrometer filters) or by removing
> this specific list of metrics, this does not feel like a long-term solution
> for us.-
> Currently using spring-boot and micrometer, it's really hard to remove one of
> those duplicated metrics.
> Could a configuration option be added to disable one of the two sensor to
> avoid having duplicated metrics?
> Thanks in advance
